Old-school Paveway and a Standard. Very Vietnam----rather appropriate for the camo.

Slightly OT, but Swoosh--is your YF-19 a 1st release or 2nd release? Have you modified it in any way? The shoulders in fighter mode caught my eye, as do the extremely well-fitting leg seams behind the shoulders in fighter mode.

I agree---but I have little hope of anyone ever drawing Miang doing the pose for my avatar.

The others are just the CF VF-25's we've seen before--always sitting in the hangar undergoing repairs. That's the only time we've seen them fly I think.

Fixed MKV file is up. Go check first page of thread.

Are all copies of the Kei .mkv corrupt at 19:50 in? I know it's not just me (but it could be that particular download place), but does anyone have a working mkv? I finished watching the ep with the .avi, but it's not as high quality. (Not that there was much to watch in this clip episode anyways)

I've yet to play an MMORPG, this'll be my first. (Assuming it's good)

MicroSol etc only affects water-slide decals, won't do anything to a sticker. Best advice (besides replacement)---heat them up with a hair dryer and try to get them to re-stick when they're hot---the extra bit of softness helps them conform. (It's best to apply them the first time using a hair dryer, too)

The YF-22 had diamond wings, though sorta delta-ish. But it was changed so much when it became the F-22, that it has at best "clipped semi-delta diamond" wings or something. It is by definition still a diamond, but barely---it's really close to a delta wing in function/aspect, and the h.stabs were "un-diamonded". The YF-23 (and F-104) are much more clearly diamond-winged and diamond-tailed. Diamond(my own guess at the definition): Trailing edge sweeps foward, leading edge sweeps back. While a delta has an unswept trailing edge, and a swept-back leading edge. Note the YF-23's trailing edge sweeps sharply forward, while the -22's is only slightly swept. (still waiting for my Ep 15 subs before I watch the ep--I expected them by this morning) So for the F-22--if it looks like a delta, and aerodynamically performs like a delta---but is technically a diamond...

Too much to take in with just one viewing---plus it is hard to hear some dialogue. Did feel the pacing was off. Am I nuts for possibly liking the first one better overall? If the entire movie was the Joker, it'd be the best movie ever. But he's actually not in THAT many scenes.

You're just copying my idea.

Have we ever seen UNarmored Ozma? (excluding when he ejects it)

I'm asking for Milia's too, BTW.

Hmmmn. If the "real" VF-25 was designed to be slender so as to look better in full armor---does the "not as slender" Bandai VF-25 imply armor won't come? (or if it does, it'll be so bulky it'll look weird)

Confirmed, EA/Bioware making KOTOR MMO: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168871

That's what I was thinking.

Probably the highest-quality online footage of the F-22 so far: (Farnborough demo) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7510364.stm Of course, like most videos---zoomed in too close to actually tell the motion. 2:04 is a "vectored loop" but hard to realize, 2:56 is a tailslide.

http://vimeo.com/1300197 Adorable/awesome video. Also--coming this fall for about the same price as a Yamato valk, the ultimate Wall-E toy:

Nanase. And give me a full-length mirror.

I want the FULL armor mainly because I feel that's the VF-25's defining characteristic. How so? Because much like the VF-0, the VF-25 is overall "more of the same". The VF-25 is VERY traditional as valks go (as opposed to the distinctive -4/19/21). There's really nothing unique about it that's worth my money. EXCEPT---it can actually transform while wearing full GBP-style armor. Only valk (ignoring Stampede) that can be in fighter mode while fully armored. THAT makes it very unique--and very fun to play with, especially if we get the "each bit can be attached/ejected individually". It's clear Kawamori is trying to make valks that more easily translates to toys (starting with M:Zero), but the FULL armor may be too much even for Bandai--but I sure hope we get it. But bare fighter mode? It's basically a VF-0, which is itself a modified VF-1. It just folds its wings back 90 degrees, instead of flat on its back. And has a few Sv-51-ish bits in the transformation. But overall, it's a "new" VF-1, kinda like the VF-0 is, and VF-11 was.

Before I commit my irreplaceable Anazasi decals, I'd like to be sure of what ship names to use on the tailfins of my VF-1's. Now, on my first Roy VF-1S, I had stickered it with Prometheus, as that's a cool name and the only one that is a name and not a hull number. But I'm wondering if that's right? The instructions for the Hasegawa kits have Roy's VF-1S with SDF-1 on the tails, but Max and Milia and Hikaru's -1J's as being from the Prometheus. I doubt it's ever seen on-screen but are there any canon refs for which ship each valk belongs too? Skull squadron on SDF-1, Vermillion on Prometheus? PS---the Hase kit instructions for the STRIKE VF-1S for Roy has the boosters themselves marked for ARMD-1 (tailfins not visible). Is the difference TV vs DYRL? FAST packs vs the valk itself?

36 is the max. If you exceed 3 parallel runways (I.E. 25L, 25C, 25R--DFW has a "C" runway) you start "fudging" the numbers and go one off---so you can have 25L, 25R, 24L, 24R----even if they are all really aligned with 247 degrees and should technically ALL be runway 25. That allows 6 runways "straddling" the same true magnetic heading. San Francisco is a famous example of "4 perfectly parallel runways, but with 2 different numbers". (28 and 29 I think)

Just in case anyone ends up not using them: I'm very interested in the UN Spacy kites--if there's any spares from anyone's sheets, I'm willing to buy just the kites. (I only need 2) If anyone uses just two kites from the sheet and has one spare---if two people do that, I can buy one from each.

Pic is taken a bit "from above" and lighting was actually TOO white (should have toned down the flash) but anyways-----Octane's alternate shoulder position, plus random "Asuka wearing Rei's plugsuit because it looks cool":

How is it pilot error? Nothing I've read indicates that. If anything it was "bad procedures".
